“This is the third time I have used His Workmanship. What made His Workmanship catch my eye is the Christian mission. I’ve had the crew out here to do a fairly large project for a new rosebed and they’ve been very hard workers and made the job a breeze. I would definitely recommend His Workmanship for landscaping projects.” – Mark

Frequently Asked Questions

Sod laying labor is billed at a simple hourly rate of $60 per hour per worker. On average, a 2-person crew can unroll, place, trim, and tamp approximately 100 to 200 square feet of sod per hour on prepared soil. Installing 300 to 600 square feet of customer-provided sod typically takes 3 to 4 hours for 2 workers ($360–$480). Old turf removal, extensive soil tilling, or grading work beforehand will add to the total labor hours required.
Sod is a perishable living product that should be laid within 24 hours of being cut from the farm. When scheduling delivery from a local turf farm or garden center, request sod harvested early that morning. Pallets of sod that sit stacked for longer than 24–48 hours begin to trap internal heat, causing yellowing, root damage, and rapid moisture loss.
Proper ground preparation ensures high root survival rates: Clear the Area: Strip away existing dead grass, weeds, and rocks down to bare soil. Soil Amendment: Spread a 1- to 2-inch layer of rich topsoil or compost to enrich the root bed. Leveling & Grading: Rake the soil flat, ensuring a gentle slope away from home foundation walls. Light Tamping: Lightly roll or tamp the soil bed so it is firm yet workable before placing rolls.
Yes, sod rolls should be laid in a staggered, brickwork pattern so that vertical seams do not line up in continuous lines. Butt the edges tightly against each other without leaving gaps or overlapping the edges. Staggering seams creates a seamless visual finish and prevents heavy rain from washing down straight seam channels. Use a sharp utility knife or hand sod cutter to trim around trees, flower bed curves, and sprinkler heads.
When laying sod on an incline, run the sod strips horizontally across the face of the slope rather than vertically up and down. Secure each sod roll firmly to the ground using biodegradable or galvanized landscape staples driven through the middle and corners. Horizontal placement combined with sod stakes prevents rain runoff from washing away or shifting the unrooted turf.
Yes, pressing down new sod immediately after installation is essential. Using a handheld steel tamper or a weighted lawn roller eliminates trapped air pockets beneath the turf and ensures direct contact between the sod roots and topsoil. This root-to-soil contact allows the grass to anchor quickly and absorb groundwater.
Water new sod thoroughly within 1 hour of completion. For the first 7 to 10 days, water 1 to 2 times daily (preferably early morning and mid-afternoon) to keep both the sod pad and underlying soil deeply saturated without pooling water. Reduce watering frequency to every other day during week two as roots begin establishing. Foot traffic should be minimized for the first 14 days.
Sodding offers immediate visual transformation, fast root establishment (10–14 days), instant erosion control, and high weed resistance. Seeding is initially less expensive for materials, but requires months of intensive care, weed prevention, and protection from birds and heavy rain washouts. For fast, reliable results, sodding provides superior long-term performance.
Look for a service with simple hourly pricing, proven experience, and clear material guidelines. Calculate the square footage of your target area beforehand, order freshly cut sod rolls from a local farm to arrive on installation day, and hire a hardworking, labor-only crew to handle the grueling turf placement, edge cutting, and tamping without paying inflated contractor markups.

Hear what a provider says

My name is Daniel and this is my first summer helping residential homeowners through His Workmanship. I used to attend the same church as the owner so that is how I learned about this amazing opportunity. To be honest, I really enjoy finding customers through a referral company that so clearly reflects the Christian faith in their business model. The cherry on top is that a $20 discount is offered to everyone who reads a certain passage in the Bible.
